New York S10706 amends the criminal procedure law to establish a judicial diversion part in each county, overseen by the chief administrator of the courts. Eligible defendants, charged with certain felonies, can participate in treatment programs instead of facing incarceration. The bill defines "eligible defendant" and outlines conditions for participation, including the requirement for a clinical evaluation. It also specifies the role of treatment providers, the types of treatment plans, and the conditions for sealing records upon successful completion of the program.
